Place 3 tablespoons of butter in pan on med. heat. *If you are using bacon forgo the butter and just fry your minced bacon until slightly crisp.*

Once butter is bubbly add onions and saute until golden.

Add garlic and diced liver. Saute lightly about 3-5 more min. until the liver is JUST browned (you want it pink in the middle).*If you are using pre-cooked liver skip adding the liver here.*

Remove from heat. *If you are using precooked liver add the liver here and mix well with onion mixture.* Allow to cool for approx. 7 min.

In a food processor or high powered blender place about 3 tablespoons water OR broth, mustard, spices, salt, pepper, and remaining butter.

Add liver/onion mixture and process on high until paste like consistency is formed. If it is not liquid enough or smooth enough add more broth OR water about 1 tablespoon at a time and process after each addition to get required consistency.
